I get a blank screen when it tries to do load->database(). No error message. Nothing in the log. I verified that the database hostname, username, password and database are all correct using MySql Workbench.

I saw a post somewhere saying that CodeIgniter should not use PHP > 5.3. Could that be it? I have PHP 5.6.1 and CI 2.2

This is the model/news_model.php (from the news blog tutorial):

Code:
<?php

class News_model extends CI_Model {

    public function __construct()

    {

        $this->load->database();

    }

        public function get_news($slug = FALSE)

        {

                if ($slug === FALSE)

                {

                        $query = $this->db->get('news');

                        return $query->result_array();

                }

                $query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('slug' => $slug));

                return $query->row_array();

        }

}

This is config/database.php:

Code:
$active_group = 'default';

$active_record = TRUE;

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';

$db['default']['username'] = 'root';

$db['default']['password'] = 'my_password';

$db['default']['database'] = 'my_database';

$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';

$db['default']['dbprefix'] = '';

$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;

$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;

$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;

$db['default']['cachedir'] = '';

$db['default']['char_set'] = 'utf8';

$db['default']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';

$db['default']['swap_pre'] = '';

$db['default']['autoinit'] = TRUE;

$db['default']['stricton'] = FALSE;
